I tried several times recently and was informed that the business model has completely changed and retention deals are no longer a thing. Instead it's all about attracting new customers on long deals and then stuffing them with no further discounts unless you want to switch.

I don't know how legitimate this is but I tried several times, have been a customer since before they were Virgin and gave genuine threats to leave before getting this bloke who was the most human person I'd spoken to and took the time to explain everything to me. He said they are equally frustrated with it.

Got a retention deal a week ago. Don't have TV but have broadband and phone. I have 200mb and XL phone and line rental for £31. So they are still doing retention deals it seems.

as above they still do retentions, put in your cancelation and normally get a call within a couple of days, call first and make sure you have all of your marketing preferences set up so they can call you. We got 200Mb BB only for £26 a few weeks ago.

That would sound about right, except virgin media raise the price that often that you don’t have to be in any contract very long.

i just get basic tv phone and 200mbps at 40% off retention deal (they called it something different like loyalty deal though)
